Setting Rear Axle Camber:

For setting the camber, turn the screw (A) of the upper

transverse link.

Because this screw has a left and right hand thread at

either end, the transverse link does not need to be dis-

mantled for the camber to be adjusted.

Furthermore, the rear axle stub (B) has several different

suspension points for the upper transverse link.

If the transverse link was attached in a different location,

thiswould changethe camber when the wheel deects

and extends.

The manufacturer already selected the best setting for the

vehicle. Therefore, you should not change the attachment

point (B).

b) Setting the Alignment

Wheelalignment(toe-in=gure"A",toe-out=gure"B")describes

the relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.

The tyres are pushed apart in the front by rolling friction when driv-

ing. Therefore, they are no longer precisely parallel to the driving

direction.

To compensate, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adjusted so

that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves lateral cornering

of the tyres and leads to a more direct response to steering.

If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved

accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary

vehicle point outward.

An alignment angle of more than 3° toe-in (A) or toe-out (B) will lead to handling problems and decreased

speed. It will also increase tyre wear.
